"Glider Bob" Saunders, Telluride Flying Memorial

I flew the photo ship (Number 7 in the flight of 7 Stemmes) from
Montrose to Telluride.Â* We formed up enroute to Ridgeway, north of the
mountains from Telluride, then flew over a saddle at 14,500' MSL.Â* As we
crossed the mountains, we shutdown our engines and formed a circle over
the east end of town.Â* We circled several times until descending to
12,500' and then broke out in line astern to the west.Â* The last ship
dropped Glider Bob's ashes over Bridal Veil Falls.Â* My wife, Patti, was
on the ground and, with a borrowed camera, took the signature photo of
the release of the ashes. Hopefully, you can see it he

It was an honor to have been a part of that flight.
